Who Confirm ? -
Get the facts right:
It's only SMRT which is fully aircon. -
Last time I also got take svc 35, SBS3609B on 25 Jan 2007, 1643 hrs. That time also a NAC N113CRB but the BC drive very fast, then got wind go in. But for SBS3609B, I don't feel very comfortable, its like braking a bit, accelerate, brake again and again, continued for I think 2 - 3 secs, in short, its a jerky ride.

SBS would dump NAC buses on some profitable rts -
Most of us are too comfortable with airconed buses.
I may be one of them, but I still take NACs sometimes. Two reasons:
1. Service 225 used to be NAC service last time. I remember saying this last time that I detest taking airconed buses because they could chill me until I became ice (that was my thinking when I was seven).
2. NACs are going to be scrapped soon! Treasure them before they are gone.
So why complain? -

Then explain the reason why so may non air-conditioned buses are dumped onto Jurong Industrial bus routes, including the routes that serve that area but are classified as trunk routes.Originally posted by 798:i find most of the NAC are buses who cater for secondary, poly, jc n uni.

Plus, I have been seeing/hearing more about air-conditioned buses being used on student-heavy routes, such as routes 74 and 151. The other day, I saw one straight row of four route 179 buses ( ), but only one of them is a non air-conditioned bus.
Don't be such a whiny person; yes, it can get hot, but if it really bothers you, you can nicely ask the bus driver to switch on the blower if it gets that bad (only the DM MKIIs don't have the blowers, by the way). I was on a route 257 bus once in a storm, and when the bus got really stuffy, I went over to ask if he could switch on the blowers; he gladly acceded my request.
I can partially agree with you on 1. and completely agree with you on 2.. Some of the air-conditioned buses are so cold they seem to be drawing air straight from Antarctica, especially the Habits (although my worst case was on a MKIV DM3500). And soon, all the single-deck non air-conditioned buses will be scrapped, and the double-decks will follow in 2012 or 2014, depending on whether the VO2Xes get an extension or not. If you want to complain about them now, don't come in moaning about how you miss them when they are goneOriginally posted by TWS4793:Most of us are too comfortable with airconed buses.

So why complain? . Personally, it was only in recent years that I get to take the MKIIs in their original NAC glory - in fact, I have been on a non air-conditioned WA MKII only once if my memory is right! And sometimes, I still miss those old non air-conditioned Japanese buses the old TIBS used to have in the past. The nearest we have now are those Nissans, and even that is air-conditioned (or you may say they are trying to pretend that it's air-conditoned 
).
Don't be selfish - spare a thought for those who are going to commute on those feeder routes, which can get crowded at times.Originally posted by sbst275:Feeder rts can use NAC for no one's biz

I guess we Singaporeans are just too pampered with the air-conditioner, or we are just refusing to accept the reality that we are in a tropical climate and is trying to challenge Mother Nature by jacking down our air-conditioners to 18C or even 16C and pretending that we are in some bleak European winter, just as what someone who wrote to the Straits Times forum wrote. When will we realise that this is just simply contributing to global warming, and thus making ourselves hotter? Sigh... -
Not really if you consider the SaunaAircon busesOriginally posted by off_service:Get the facts right:

Ai yoh. Singapore still got few other services that has NAC bus. Like 74, 154, BNL industrial services. I also get fried in the sun when taking 74 back home 1+pm, I also never complain. If you think 15 years ago, NAC buses were the core fleet in SG then. 165, 851, 74, ... and alot all NAC last time. You're lucky we're ordering WAB AC buses to replace the NAC. Be patient. All will be gone soon.Originally posted by pervertboi:is air-conditioned liao....
